Betty Soo: 2 May 2015 (7:30 pm)

Winner of many of folk music's most prestigious awards (Kerrville Folk Festival, Mountain Stage, and Wildflower), Betty Soo has won many praises, to include accolades from the Austin American-Statesman: “exceptionally well-arranged songs, as easily equal in precision to, say, Patty Griffin or Alison Krauss…a confidence that speaks volumes,” and from KUT: “beautiful, heart-wrenching songs that are also edgy and unwavering. A fan says "Saw her live recently for the first time....she's wonderful! And she has a fabulous dry wit. Great show, great songs. Highly recommend her album "heat sin water skin" and seeing her in concert!﻿"﻿

During the five years since her last album of original material, BettySoo zigzagged her way across the North American and European continents more than a few times. Mostly, she toured. Every other minute, she was flying to visit best friends in rehab, driving for days with friends whose family lives were crumbling, visiting mental hospitals, going to houses and cleaning kitchens and bathrooms when friends had no will left to do it themselves.﻿

One of Americana's rising stars, Betty has also won the Big Top Chautauqua Songwriter of the Year Award & the Sisters Folk Festival / Dave Carter Memorial Songwriting Competition.
